Business outlook

Pros

Great work life balance, superbly interesting mission. Being an upstream philanthropy means a lack of usual anxiety in for-profit orgs.

Cons

Being an upstream philanthropy, and lacking the necessary pressure -- most of the meaningful work is swallowed up in meetings to protect egos and office politics.
